I used to do well in math, but since learning a certain chapter, I suddenly feel overwhelmed.
You can't accept the fallout at once, and you can't help but wonder if there's something wrong with your abilities.
Immediately to the final exams, every night are thinking about these things, panic in the heart, sometimes lying down at eleven o'clock at night, have to stay up for two hours to fall asleep.
I've tried to work on improving my math, but I've never had good results, and my class is so exceptionally good that I feel like I'm being left behind and look like a loser.
I'm really scared and panicked right now, and I'm getting more and more self-conscious about math.
Please give me some guidance, even a little bit, thank you.
Hello, Mr. Owner. I'm Kohoku, the whale social worker.
First of all, I'll give you a warm hug, I totally understand how you feel. I can see from your description that you used to have a good foundation in math, and you just may have gotten a little stuck on a certain section, which led to the mental fallout.
This is actually quite normal, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The fact that you were good at math before means that you have talent in this area. So in the difficult chapters, are there some problems that you didn't understand? Or didn't master the problem solving routine? Did you ask your teacher for advice in time? If you don't solve them as soon as possible, it may affect your subsequent study.
So when you are in this situation, it is recommended that you take the initiative to seek help from your teacher. Teachers are usually happy to help, especially if you had good grades before and are now just temporarily experiencing a bottleneck. If you don't ask, the teacher may not know how to help you and will be anxious instead.
Good luck~ (whale social worker 🐳)
